Right-wing group calls Lindsey Graham gay again
The far-right ALIPAC doubles down on its campaign against the S.C. Republican, which is slimy even by its standards
By Mike Madden

WASHINGTON -- William Gheen, the head of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, is doubling down on his attempt to gay-bait Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

The group just blasted out an e-mail press release:

The national border security organization known as Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is officially calling for US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to make his homosexual lifestyle public knowledge in the interest of political integrity and national security...

"US Senator Lindsey Graham is gay and while many people in South Carolina and Washington DC know that, the general public and Graham's constituents do not," said William Gheen President of ALIPAC. "I personally do not care about Graham's private life, but in this situation his desire to keep this a secret may explain why he is doing a lot of political dirty work for others who have the power to reveal his secrets. Senator Graham needs to come out of the closet inside that log cabin so the public can rest assured he is not being manipulated with his secret."

Exactly what Graham's sexuality -- which has been the subject of rumors in South Carolina for years -- has to do with border security isn't particularly clear. (When asked, the unmarried Graham says he's not gay, he's just single.) He is the lone Republican who's trying to work with Democrats on immigration reform this year; Gheen appears to have decided that makes him fair game for, well, just about anything. The insinuation that he's only supporting immigration reform because he's trying to keep something hidden is pretty slimy, though, even by the standards of ALIPAC.

think they can level against someone.

Why do they give a fuck if someone is gay or not?

Oh wait.

Never mind.

Rhetorical question.

the worst thing you could call someone was "republican". But, that's just me.:evilgrin:

I've seen it time and again. :(

Lindsey Graham Gay? Conservative Group ALIPAC Demands Senator 'Admit Homosexuality'
First Posted: 04-20-10 01:48 PM | Updated: 04-20-10 04:45 PM

William Gheen, head of the conservative, anti-"amnesty," anti-illegal immigration group Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), spoke at a Greenville, S.C. Tea Party rally this weekend and called for Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to "come out of that log cabin closet."

According to Gheen, being gay is "a secret that Lindsey Graham has."

Gheen told the crowd: "I hope this secret isn't being used as leverage over Senator Graham, so today I think Senator Graham, you need to come forward and tell people about your alternative lifestyle and your homosexuality."

"Barney Frank is more honest and brave than you," Gheen continued, referring to the openly-gay Massachusetts congressman.

ALIPAC has posted the video titled "US Senator Graham is Gay" on YouTube, where various news outlets have covered it.

At one point, the video contained the tags "queer" and "fag," which Gheen told HuffPost were the result of a hacked YouTube account. When Gheen was informed of the keywords, he replaced them with less incendiary language.

William Gheen

The only thing that matters is he is a :puke:

Charlie Crist is another I've heard rumors about. Personally, I hope he runs as independent. That gives Meek a better chance. Even if Crist won, he'd be their "Joe Lieberman". We all know the frustrations of "Holy-Joe".
